Anti-global-warming advertisement

"They Will Come To Town" is supposed to frighten people about the prospects of the consequences of global warming. From my viewpoint, it makes the future look a little brighter for the planet (if not for humankind). A win for the whales...

"...a few meters higher than expected..." (!) You can say that again. If the entire Antarctic icecap melted we are talking about 60 meters. From that video most of the Manhattan skyline is at least half underwater and if the bridge is the Brooklyn Bridge then the span the whales are swimming next to is ~41 meters with plenty of water above it. Remember that is if ALL OF ANTARCTICA melts... not likely in any scenario.

"Tai-wiki-widbee" is an eclectic mix of trivialities, ephemera, curiosities, and exotica with a smattering of current events, social commentary, science, history, English language and literature, videos, and humor. We try to be the cyberequivalent of a Victorian cabinet of curiosities.
